Get Out Of Jail Free

President Barack Obama on Wednesday shortened the sentences of 214 federal inmates, most of them non-violent offenders sentenced for drug crimes, the White House said.

Of those 214, 67 were serving life sentences.

Wednesday's commutations bring the total number of commutations by Obama to 562, which the White House noted is more than the last nine presidents combined. 197 of those were serving life sentences.

It might be interesting to know how many of these inmates are black.

In his press conference today, he admitted it was program for young black men who had dis-proportionally been given longer sentences even though provided by law.

He could not reconcile that over 25% of them were given firearms penalties except to say the gun crimes involved were non-violent.

The real problem is the certainty of recitivism. This is just so wrong. The tragic aspect about race in this matter is the preference shown to the negro race and indifference to their future victims. Nonviolent gun crime ? I think that just means they shot the hell outta whitey.
